. Application February 16, 1939; Serial No. 256,755

3 Claims.

This invention relates to hair dressing accessories and more particularly to a bob hair pin or grip bob pin wherein, due to the particular formation of the pin, a positive grip upon the hair is secured with the result that the hair dress is retainedintact, the waves or coils thereof being heldin position. A further object is to provide a bob hair pin that is readily anchored in the hair and as readily released when desired.

A still further object is to provide a bob hair pin that will not in any way impair the hair dress while the pin is in use. A further object is the provision of a bob hair pin that is unobtrusive and that is formed of a material and shape that permit it to adapt itself to the curvature of the head.

With the foregoing and other objects in view the invention consists in the combination and arrangement of parts to be hereinafter fully described, pointed out in the claims and illustrated in the accompanying drawing which forms a part of this application for patent and in which- Fig. 1 is a view in side elevation -of a conventional type of hair pin.

Fig. 2 is a top plan view of Fig. 8. Fig. 3 is an enlarged fragmentary view of Fig. 8. Fig. 4 is a view in side elevation of a modified form of the pin shown in Fig. 8.

Fig. 5 is a View similarto Fig. 4 but with the pin bent or curved.

Fig. 6 is an enlarged fragmentary view of Fi 4. r

Fig. 7 is a side view of a further modified form of the device.

Fig. 8 is a view in side elevation of one form of this invention.

Like reference characters denote corresponding parts throughout the several views.

The present bob pin is made of resilient mate rial which in the form shown in Figs. 8, 2 and 3 inclusive is bent midway between its ends as at I back upon itself to form the straight leg 2 and the twisted leg 3.

The twisted leg 3 is formed throughout its length with the portions 4, 5 arranged alternately and disposed consecutively at right angles to each other, one edge of each portion 4 being contiguous to the leg 2 while the portions 5 are spaced therefrom. In use the legs are manually spread apart and the hair interposed therebetween and the legs, or one of them, then released when the hair will be frictionally retained therebetween In the form shown in Figs. 4 and 6, one leg 6 is of spiral formation and cooperates with the straight leg 2 to retain the hair.

In Fig. 5 the legs 2, 6 are curved slightly to conform more to the curvature of the head, the leg 6 being of spiral formation and the leg 2 a flat piece of material.

In the form shown in Fig. 7 both legs 6 are of spiral formation throughout their length and cooperate with each other to hold the hair between them.

While the foregoing is a complete disclosure of the present invention it is not intended to limit the invention to what is herein shown and described, as it is susceptible of such further modifications and changes as rightfully fall within the scope of the appended claims.

What is claimed is:

1. A grip pin formed of resilient material, said material being bent about its central portion to form two legs, one of said legs being straight, the other leg being twisted to form a plurality of portions disposed consecutively at right angles to each other.

2. A grip pin formed of resilient material, said material being bent about its'central portion to form two legs, one of fsaid-legs being straight, the other leg being twisted to form a plurality of portions disposed consecutively at right angles to each other,'alternatetwisted'portions being spaced from the said straight leg.

3. In a grip pin formed of resilient material, said material being bent about its central portion to form two legs, one of said legs being twisted uniformly throughout its length.
